Although I suppose Mizo could try and take a deserving enough genin to eat bugs and practice senjutsu...if she and the GM could be persuaded to watch them struggle and get beat over the head with a sage stick
“I am perfectly capable of learning that jutsu!”
“Sure, and I’m the Sage of Six Paths *drips sake onto the grill since the fire isn’t hot enough yet*”
“Aren’t you actually a sag-“
“Yes Kimiko.”
“The sage of what?”
“*basically beer batters the barbecue* Nothing. Anyway, it’s not a Jutsu. It’s called a Sage Art. Maybe one day you’ll be good enough for it, we’ll talk about it when you’re older or something.”
I can just imagine like everybody grouped up at like the barbecue place with the grills at the tables and Mizo is just casually talking about Mount Myoboku and mentions Sage Mode and that fire god brat - can’t remember his name - Husky that’s it - - just fuckin demands she teaches him but she laughs about the though of him turning into a toad.
“So then I had to meditate on a slab of rock on a -“
“MIZO SENSEI! HOW DO I LEARN TO DO THAT THING YOU DO WITH THE EYES AND THE CHAINS AND THE-“
“You can’t do it you’d turn into a toad from not being capable.”
“Takes a gulp of sake Alright, welcome to your first official day as team 6. As we said yesterday during introductions, I love this stuff gestures to the toad skin flask so you’re gonna see me packing all the time. I’m not gonna get drunk or anything, so I can still kick your asses, speaking of which, your assignment for today is to attack me as much as you can - lemme see what they taught you in the academy, I can take it.
If you somehow actually defeat me, I’m buying all four of us ramen tonight. Takes one last drink and stuffs the flask in her pocket. Now show me what you got.”
Mizo be like “I don’t care if you’re 13 I’ll still crush your ribs”
”There aren’t many problems in the shinobi world I haven’t been able to solve without a fist. The rest? Ramen. That’s the universal sign of peace for shinobi. You could end wars with a steaming hot...fresh...bowl of...what was I saying?”
Nickname: Post Time Skip, they call her the Mountain Sage of The Leaf
Age: 14 | 27
Gender: Female
Height:5’4” 5’9”
Nature: Earth
Personality: Mizo is inherently levelheaded and peaceful, though she doesn’t smile terribly often unless it’s for a good reason, she can definitely cut loose and enjoy some ramen in town or get a kick out of life. She enjoys spending time studying the more far out aspects of the shinobi world, like senjutsu, the history of the Rinnegan and the Sage of Six Paths, or sealing jutsu that she rarely hears anyone talk about. Despite her kind and mellow nature, when somebody gets under her skin, they get a good solid fist slammed into their stomach. Mizo may appear to be a generally carefree shinobi, but over the years she has learned to appreciate where she came from, and is fiercely loyal to Konoha and everyone who lives there. She is proud to be a Leaf shinobi, and will never take that for granted. She will always do everything she can to protect the people of her nation, and anyone who calls her nation a friend.
Before now, as a genin, she didn’t think much of Konoha as a whole, she thought it was just a place, and that it wouldn’t matter if the people weren’t here. To Mizo’s genin self, Konoha wasn’t where the people were already, but where they are any time. It doesn’t sound like it makes a lot of sense, but it did to her, it was about the people living on the land, not the land itself, that Mizo cared about. Of course, she began to understand that the “Land” in “Land of Fire” wouldn’t be Konoha unless people spent countless generations making it what it is, so these days, everything about her home means the the world - literally - to Mizo.
Mizo’s come to think that she’s make a pretty decent teacher, she’d love to pull together a genin squad and show them how to scrap like real shinobi one day. Granted, she’s probably pound them into the dirt every day, tell them to walk it off with a big laughing smile, and buy them a round of ramen at Ichiraku’s after they’re able to walk again and call that their training. Oh, and maybe teach them the rock wall jutsu between stomach ruptures. Also, she has a toad skin flask that may, or may not contain sake, not that anyone would be able to tell...
Background: Growing up in the ninja academy, Mizo struggled with things like the basic clone jutsu or substitution, though she was great at taijutsu, which wasn’t special since most kids are. Mizo one day read a book on the earth style, and asked her teacher if she could try to learn the rock wall. Her teacher found it odd that a student who was underperforming at ninjutsu wanted to learn something like this, but also understood that everyone learned differently.
As it turned out, Mizo was a natural at things like the rock wall and mud clone. Her newfound skill awarded her a pass, and her teacher gave Mizo an alternative learning path, she would still learn shuriken throwing and chakra control, but anywhere that a jutsu could be replaced with earth style, She’d learn differently. A few years later, in the middle of her chunin rank, Mizo journeyed to Mount Myoboku to learn senjutsu from the Toad Sages, and it was by this point that her training began to feel like it was really coming together in her mind. She put earth style on the back burner and devoted her time to Sage Mode, eventually interweaving the two into her own genuine fighting style.
Fighting Style: Mizo is a very grounded fighter, she doesn’t worry about fancy flips or disorienting an enemy. She hits them, and she hits them as hard as she can so they don’t get back up. The better parts of her fighting style revolves around Myoboku Senjutsu, since she has trained endlessly to base herself around the techniques of nature energy. If an encounter doesn’t last very long, she will simply fall back on the earth style and taijutsu, but if it’s something more serious that demands her full attention, Mizo lets it be know why they call her the Mountain Sage.
Abilities:
Ninja Art : Summoning Jutsu
Summons a toad from Mount Myoboku. She didn’t learn this until a while after the chunin exams, when she learned senjutsu.
Earth Style : Rock Wall A literal wall of rock. Like a shield. It’s about ten feet high.
Earth Style : Mud Clone Mud clone. Simple enough.
Earth Style : Antlion Hole The ground beneath Mizo’s feet slowly starts to crumble away until she sinks underneath, only to seal itself shut once she’s buried underneath, she then listens for the vibrations in the ground, until somebody comes along for her to grab so she can have her way with them.
Mizo didn’t learn Senjutsu until she was around 16-17. Since then, she’s changed up her fighting style to revolve primarily around senjutsu.
Sage Art : Mountain Shield Like rock wall, but much bigger and stronger.
Sage Art : Canyon Slam A ground punch that splits open the earth, for trapping. The small canyon is roughly 30 feet deep, and is best used in large, spacious area.
Sage Art : Black Iron Sealing Pit Similar to Canyon Slam, but a straight drop deep into the earth, seals the target away with jet black chains that wrap around the target, pulling them deep into the dark chasm that closes behind them.
Sage Art : Toad Oil Mizo inhales air, and exhales oil, very flammable oil that can be sprayed a decent distance for as long as she exhales. It burns well, but needs to be ignited by something like a paper bomb, or fire style.
Sage Art : Toad Clay The ground becomes soft and mushy beneath one’s feet until they fall through, when the ground hardens, they’re stuck. It’s not terribly difficult to break free, unless the ground is made of stone or something else stronger than dirt.
Sage Art : Frog Axe Kick The one exception in Mizo’s fighting style, what some more fervent taijutsu practitioners would get their jumpsuits in a twist over is that it’s call a Frog axe kick, rather than a soaring axe kick. Sure, there’s channeling chakra into the leg, but this is a toad taijutsu that involves charging at an enemy while going off the ground, and then spinning around to shatter some poor soul’s arm and neck with the back of your leg. It’s pretty satisfying to watch, actually.
As one more final note, if you’d like, adult Mizo would be more than happy to teach a squad, so if you decide to go for squads, hit me up and we can work that out 👉 I’m looking forward to this.
